Dear EASST colleagues (with apologies for cross-posting),
In addition to the vacancy previously circulated by Anique Hommels
(ethnography of smart
farming), we have a second vacancy at
Maastricht Universitys Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences to investigate the
ethical and societal challenges of agricultural
automation.
PhD position: Ethical and Societal Challenges of Agricultural Automation
The increasing automation of agriculture is often framed as an inevitable and
necessary response to global challenges such as labour shortages, rising
costs, and sustainability imperatives. Autonomous greenhouses, AI-driven
farming, and robotics promise efficiency, precision, and sustainabilitybut
what will this transition look like, in practice? This PhD project critically
examines the potential emergence of ethical and societal frictions, as
agricultural automation reshapes knowledge, labour, and governance
structures.
Full details available

Please alert potential candidates to both of these opportunities! Deadline for
both: May 4.
Many thanks in advance and all the best,
Dani
